Filmed in the Bowery section of New York City, this is the story of Owen (Rockliffe Fellowes) who was orphaned at 10, grew up on the streets, and became a gangster. After he meets Marie (Anna Q. Nilsson), a social worker in the slums, he decides to try to make something of himself. But–it won't be easy. Raoul Walsh's first feature film is a good one as he captures the atmosphere of the area and uses inventive photography (for the time).
